7/28 D'Backs (Halsey) @ Cubs (Williams) 1:20 CT, CSN Chi

If the Cubs are gonna blow the season, I want them to lose like 20 games in a row. That way Baker gets fired, and some other morons get DFAed.

 

Dusty Baker is not going to be fired. The Cubs would have to pay him 4 million dollars to go fishing. This isn't Cincy, that's not going to happen.

 

If we can pay Sammy $12 million to play in Baltimore this year, why can't we buy out Dusty's contract and send his fat butt packing?

 

Dusty's money has already been spent. He has $16 mil of Cubs money. If he were to be fired it would have been earlier in the season (before the Break). There's really no reason to shake things up during a critical stretch of the season. Besides, Hendry and MacPhail have already given him a vote of confidence.

You know what's kind of funny? So many people liked today's lineup... and they were shut out. I mean there's so much lineup related bellyaching seemingly every game, and then people finally get a lineup they're happy with, and they get five hits. Just kind of funny is all....

Umm, ususally as a consensus the people here disagree with Hollandsworth and Neifi in th lineup, they were 0-for. Murton on the other hand was 1-2, the problem today was our big boys (Aram & Dlee) were shut down. Cedeno was shut down but I think he should have batted lower and Murton should have been in the 2 hole.
